Odds & Ends 7/17-7/23
Well, with one week left, it's looking less and less likely that I'll hit my word count goal for this month. I'm not taking it too hard, though. I set an ambitious goal (basically calculated hitting my peak work pace every single day) for July, and I've had some very productive days, and I hope … Continue reading Odds & Ends 7/17-7/23

Odds & Ends 7/3-7/9
Fell down the research rabbit hole today...learned a lot...but not much else got done. Oh well. It'll pay off in the end when I can use all that knowledge to get on a roll writing about it, right? I also finally got to hang out poolside this week, which of course meant having a book … Continue reading Odds & Ends 7/3-7/9
Odds & Ends 6/26-7/2
Writing went well this week. I finished the month ahead of my word count goal, and though I know next week will be lower because of holiday activities, I'm hoping I can keep that same level of focus on my writing days and get July off to a strong start. I would also like to … Continue reading Odds & Ends 6/26-7/2
Choosing Your Team: Beta Readers You Want (And Some You Don’t)
Assembling your team of beta readers is kind of a big deal. After all, these are the people whose opinions and knowledge you're going to let shape the future of your story and you as a writer, so you can't choose just anyone. Think carefully about what each potential reader brings to the table in … Continue reading Choosing Your Team: Beta Readers You Want (And Some You Don’t)
Review: Fear the Drowning Deep
Review of Fear the Drowning Deep by Sarah Glenn Marsh
Odds & Ends 6/5-6/11
I'm feeling productive this week. The writing schedule was maintained, the grocery shopping got done, I puppy-sat yesterday, and I even exercised. (Okay, I did 5 squats with a six-pound dog on my shoulders, but still, I moved when I did not have to. It counts.) I'm starting to get into the new series Still Star-Crossed on … Continue reading Odds & Ends 6/5-6/11
Odds & Ends 5/22-6/4
So, I was totally prepared to not have time to write two weeks ago in the midst of all my brother's wedding hoopla. I had the post about the Wed-Libs all set up and ready to upload on time so I wouldn't have to worry about it. What I wasn't prepared for was not having … Continue reading Odds & Ends 5/22-6/4
Wedding Fun
In honor of my brother's wedding this weekend, I've decided to share this little nugget I contributed to the reception fun. I call them Wed-Libs! Essentially wedding themed Mad-Libs, it's a fun way for guests to entertain themselves while the bride & groom make the rounds or take a few post-ceremony photos. You may have … Continue reading Wedding Fun
Genre & Personality: A Survey
I saw an article on Facebook the other day with a headline about how people who like certain book genres are more likely to have more flexible moral codes than those who like other genres. I didn't click on the article, so don't ask me what the statistics are, but it did get me thinking … Continue reading Genre & Personality: A Survey
Intentionality
Toward the end of last week, I was feeling a little low. I wasn't particularly bothered by anything, just a little run down. Maybe it was just that that weekend happened to be the last go round of a very busy series of weeks. Either way, I was ready to sit down for a good devotional … Continue reading Intentionality
